Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

To provide support to persons as they re-establish a home after personal tragedy or natural disaster.

  • Furniture and Clothing Bank - The Mustard Seed's program objective is to help individuals and families in crisis to achieve self-sufficiency and become contributing members of society. The Organization provides basic household items, clothing and related fundamentals to assist those in need with the basics to create meaningful futures for themselves and their families. During fiscal year 2026, 944 households, including 2,629 people received assistance from The Mustard Seed. One hundred percent of those served are economically disadvantaged, per the Federal poverty index. Others served are disaster victims whose circumstances left them without financial resources to create new futures for low-income children. The household basics can help create a home environment that lends normalcy to their circumstances. The Organization gives these individuals the basics that are important to daily functioning: beds, blankets, linens, sofas, chairs, lamps, pots, pans, dishes, utensils, cleaning supplies, diapers, clothing and related amenities.

    Expenses $1,593,143 · Grants $742,044 · Revenue $272,040

  • Recycling Program - The Mustard Seed's recycling program objective is to help sustain the furniture and clothing programs, reduce dump expenses, and protect our environment in the process. During fiscal year 2025, the Organization successfully recycled 5,998 mattresses and box springs, saving 134,954 cubic feet in landfill space. The Organization also recycles computer equipment, appliances, and cell phones. All income from recycling goes back into funding the furniture and clothing programs.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
